Szeged

Szeged is a place teeming with old-fashioned cafés and is the centre of Art Nouveau. It’s a place where it feels good to sit on the bank of the River Tisza or discover the region’s myriad wonders.

Once you see the town, you’ll fall in love. Szeged has that certain countryside charm that evokes the beginning of the last century. The largest city on the southern Great Plain offers visitors many sights to visit. Saunter down the romantic streets or take part in one of the city tours where you can learn about the history of Szeged. Go back in time (at least in your imagination): visit the buildings that remained intact even during the great flood of 1879. Only 250 buildings of the 6,500 houses that once stood in the town were not destroyed by the biggest disaster in its history. When the flood receded after 186 days, people started to rebuild the town and this was when today’s layout was designed and created.
